I know what they're "getting at" too. I'm just not buying it.
The original question I asked was this: "Is a human fetus an individual human lifeform?"

They don't agree with you on individual human lifeform. It's all semantics at this point... You could call every fetus the Queen of England, and they (and I) would say abort the bitch. I agree with calling a fetus an individual, but it is dependent upon it's mother, her individual rights supersede that of a lifeform that cannot keep itself alive.
